openshot screwed me over >.<

[fremantle]

arghh... so frustrated right now. i had a project to submit before midnight today (which is right now) and i chose to do it on my ubuntu machine. i was bragging all about it to people who were using imovie and what not. so i selected openshot, which is supposedly the best in the biz. i had the same impression of it too, but now i am hopeless. i started at 5pm today, the video was done at 7pm, i started the rendering at 7.10pm with preset vimeo-sd-widescreed with MED quality. it took almost 3 hours and 40 minutes to get done, and when i played it to test- the audio was missing right after the first transition effect. the rest of the video had no sound whatsoever, and the transitions stayed frozen for 3-5 seconds every time. and now i have no time to re-render, and the deadline is over. thank you openshot and ubuntu, <snip>.

Play the audio in audacity in sync.

I've done this before....

cinelerra is actually the current premier linux video editor... but it is one field in which we are lacking.

Don't brag before you have the actual result...
And don't leave things for last minute. Could have been a simple mistake on your part which had nothing to do with either tool or OS.

If it was a bug, would be more productive to talk to the openshot ppl.

kdenlive is also better than openshot

i know that, im not complaining, just sharing my experience and emotions over here at the community cafe.

Indeed whoever told you that openshot is the best should be shot. (And I can imagine which site that was)

also a new version of pitivi just came out.

I prefer Pitivi. Openshot has a prettier UI, but I find it rather crappy, and has too many issues. For one thing audio desynch happens less on Pitivi for me than OpenShot.

I agree with you on the UI but Pitivi is very limited, it lacks some very basic video editing functions (at least the version I've tried, the one that shipped with 10.10).
